Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for providing a speed compensation scheme for reading MICR data on a document. The magnetic waveform for a character is sampled at periodic rates and converted to first bytes of data which are placed in a first memory. The velocity of the document is sampled at second periodic rates and the instantaneous values of the speed of the document are placed in a second memory as second bytes of data. A processor is used to remove the second bytes of data from memory and to calculate an average speed of the document for an associated examining window consisting of a predetermined number of the first bytes of data. The width of the examining window is adjusted in accordance with the average speed compared to an anticipated normal speed.
